Page "Gerald Kersh" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
After his death in 1968 Kersh became deeply unfashionable and his work was almost completely forgotten.
However in recent years there have been signs of a revival: in many ways he pioneered the British gangster story, which has become fashionable again with such films as Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Writing to a fan, Ellison recommended Kersh, writing, " you will find yourself in the presence of a talent so immense and compelling, that you will understand how grateful and humble I felt merely to have been permitted to associate myself with his name as editor.
" Kersh is one of eight writers commemorated in ' Compass Road ', a watch design by Crispin Jones and writer Iain Sinclair.
